SAYS MEXICO HOLDS OPEN
DOOR TO ALL NATIONALS
OF WHOLESOME IDEAS
Mexico City, Aug. 2.—Mexico will
hold open the door to nationals of
all countries who can show that they
possess wholesome ideas of citizen
ship and will not prove a disturbing
element in the nation, President Ven
ustiano Carranza told the corre
spondent of the Associated Press in
an interview during which the chief
executive commented at length on
various phases of Mexico's problems.
The President's statement of the
government's attitude toward immi
gration was in response to an in
quiry concerning declarations in the
press of Mexico City that large num
bers of colonists were leaving their
European or Asiatic homes of dis
rupted conditions due to the world
war.
Would Aid Colonists
President Carranza gave assur
ances that Mexico would p'ace no |
harriers against proper immigration
and, in fact, would extend all pos
sible aid to such prospective colo
nists. That such material aid is in
contemplation is evidenced by the
fact that the President recently ap
pointed a commission to investigate
all phases of the colonization prob- I
lem. Senor Luis Ludert y Rul, I
president of the commission, has an- j
nounced that communications have c
been received from England, France, I
Canada, Germany and Russia in re- |
card to the feasibility of colonies in
the republic and in each instance the j
answer has been that Mexico wel-'
comes all dependable colonists.
Senor Carranza was asked whether
the Mexican government had nnvj
policy concerning Latin-America
which might be construed as indi
cating that the solidarity of such
countries was more to he desired by
Mexico than nl'iances with any for
eign nation. He replied that to date
the Mexican government was consid
ering no such project of union, and
until such a proposition presented
itself he refused to define a posible
governmental policy. '

Touching on the petroleum ques
tion, President Carranza asserted
that the initiative he presented to
congress last November, which was
in effect an amendment to Article
27 of the constitution, probably will
be considered by that body soon. Ho
was emphatic in the declaration that
the public press of the United States
is being grossly influenced by the
petroleum interests, who, he said,
are distorting the facts. The presi
dent continued:
Kicking Up Trouble
"The petroleum companies have
set out to engender feeling between
Mexico and the United States. They
are doing this through the medium
of some sections of the American
press, which are distorting facts to
suit their own ends."
"Mexico is not opposed to the pe
l troleum companies or to any other
foreign investors. We merely require
that if such companies are to operate
in the republic they abide by out
laws. What the new oil law will be
I cannot say, for I have expressed
my beliefs and ideas in my initiative
of last November. The passing of a
new oil law is now in the hands of
J Congress."
| President Carranza refused to ven- J
| ture a prediction as to probable
action on his initiative by the Mex
ican Congress. The attitude of the
petroleum commission which will be
j a determining factor in the settle-
I ment of present difficulties, he also
declared problematical. The special
commission appointed by the Mex
ican Senate to investigate conditions
in the Tampiro region has complet
ed its work, he said, and will give
its information to congress. This re
port is private and is for informa
tive purposes for congress only.
In conclusion. President Carranza
gave renewed assurances of his per
sonal wishes and those 6f the gov
ernment that co-dial relations be
lt ween Mexico and the United States
be maintained.

Housing Plan of s{t
British Government
Is Complicated One
London, Aug. 2. Government pro
jects for building houses for work
ingmen and for providing land for
soldiers are moving slowly.
The houseing plan is a complicated
system under which the local author
ities are to do the building and the
national treasury to share the ex
pense.
The value of land and the cost of
building and of building materials
are more than double those which
prevailed before the war.
